Meet The Players event at Sandy Park

For the first time ever Exeter Chiefs are hosting a 'Meet the New Players' event.

After a changing of the guard, and the club bidding farewell to some household names, the focus for the men's team is now on producing the next generation of talent.

The women's side too have recruited a whole host of new names as they look this season to claim the Premiership Women’s Rugby crown and defend their Allianz Cup Title.

The Chiefs will be giving fans the opportunity to hear all about the exciting young stars coming into both squads, with a Q&A with Rob Baxter, Susie Appleby and of course, the new players.

Among the players ready to meet-and-greet for the men’s team is Wales international Joe Hawkins, Eoin O’Connor from Munster, New Zealander Ethan Roots, who captained Chiefs against Cornish Pirates, and 6ft 8ins lock Alfie Bell, who arrived in November 2022 from Wasps.

For the women, the club will be introducing scrum-half Eloise Hayward, who has played for Saracens Women and rugby league for Leeds Rhinos. She has also played sevens for England and Great Britain, and football for Arsenal, Manchester City and England U18s!

The Chiefs will also welcome utility back Emily Magee, who used to play for New York Rugby Club, has been part of the USA Eagles training squad, and has played 15s and sevens rugby in nine different countries.

Tickets for the event at Sandy Park on Wednesday November 1 are £20 per person (£18 for Season Ticket Holders) which includes a main course of pie & mash.
